tailieunhanh - Sea Shell Villa, Peljesac Peninsula

A Roman slave, identified by the tablet he wears around his neck, shows the family a basin with a base made in the form of the sea monster Scylla. The basin in the painting references an ancient basin (labrum) that was mounted onto a modern base similar to the one in the painting. Alma-Tadema included detailed references to Greek and Roman antiquities in many of his works of art. His paintings of domestic life set in ancient Rome appealed to the nineteenth-century public’s infatuation with Greek and Roman culture that was fueled by the rediscovery and excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Alma-Tadema made many trips to the excavation sites to satisfy his curiosity. | CKOATIACEMS Sea Shell Villa Peljesac Peninsula Sleeps 6 2 3 Double Bedrooms plus Sofa bed 2 Bathrooms Aerial view of the village-house is 50m from jetty Front of Villa-view to the sea Bay sunsets Local Restaurant Description Sea Shell Villa is a light airy villa situated in a pretty bay on the Peljesac Peninsula.
